Hey guys ,
I will be getting a grapple and a Third function valve but not for a couple months , for now was going to Get 11/4鋳 steel tubing and bolt 3 pieces on my bucket and weld a couple of out riggers for more support to pick up brush piles .I have small piles everywhere on my 2.5 acres. Have any of you guys done this or any good ideas would be great $50.00 bucks for the steel have to Save up for the grapple and valve , Everything Attachments Grapple and True Third Function Valve . Thanks any advise is appreciated , Nor Cal Dan

For the steel, bolt up the steel like this_________/, and bolt it on your bucket. Tip your bucket down and use them like a spoon, scoop and tilt up. As far as the grapple, I refused the third function valve, and simply disconnected the bucket roll, and used that for the top jaw. Look up "add a grapple" Bolts on your bucket!

Do image search for debris forks, you should come up with a bunch of ideas that might help you out.

For my grapple control, I plumbed into the rear remote circuit I have and put a set of connectors where the loader comes off of the tractor, and ran them from there up the loader with the other lines. So my "Grapple Grip" is run off of a separate stick in the cab just a few inches from the loader control and those lines can be quickly disconnected when I take the loader off.
